ahhh photos are better than words (I'm anti-social computer nerd, you know). Monitors are hooked to the wall with original stand : https://i.postimg.cc/y8VV3LdS/IMG-20201227-132344.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/7LhwmbSH/IMG-20201227-132532.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/hj7gRwCN/IMG-20201227-132556.jpg...

It is very individual - depending on who does what. I'm a datacenter/server boy, one physical screen on first virtual desktop dedicated to VMware, the other physical screen to Firefox, Word/Excel/Acrobat with documentations and that stuff. Second virtual desktop contains stuff related to...

34" with 5K resolution is in the same league as 32" 4K == too small without scaling. If/when you scale, the benefit of huge resolution is mainly lost. For text processing, 5120x2160 with 150% scaling is effectively 5120/1.5 x 2160/1.5 = 4.9 Mpixels. Standard 4K resolution 3840x2160 provides...

we might be suprised to see 5600x being equal to 10900k in MANY games (except those really really most CPU intensive). Let's wait for benchmarks early November. No rumors apply here, I'm patiently sitting and waiting for real numbers. As said, you can't buy 5600 nonetheless so there's...

storage and PCIe 4.0 is different topic than CPUs. Yes, it's totally correct that GPUs and storage today CAN NOT benefit from PCIe4.0. Ryzen5600 will be definitely better than 3600[x] in everything and it should be better than 3700[x] in almost everything except some perfectly scaling...

Just a food for thought : 4K might be useless on 27" or 28" ; it's too small even on 32" without scaling for desktop. There are soooo many people selling their 4k 28" monitors because ... what ? You won't see too much visual difference in games, there have been blind tests and... View...

48" is too large to sit close ; Burger&Chips needs to work with spreadsheets. I'm using 40" and 43" in 4K resolution for desktop/productivity work and they are awesome. 100% = no scaling. 43" is little bit bigger than it could be, I prefer 40". Unfortunately there are no 120Hz/HDR/Freesync...

"Patriot prices the Viper Steel DDR4-3600 C18 64GB memory kit very attractively, too. At $239.99, the memory kit is neither cheap nor expensive. " heh, this is the cheapest 64GB (2x 32GB) kit out there. By far. Closest competitor is almost 50$ more expensive which is 1/5 of the price (20%)...

I don't get it : CPUs matter only in low resolutions and rich guys are not playing 1280x720 anymore, are they ? When you have anything above 2560x1440, your GPU(s) are the only important factor. At 4K (3840x2160), CPUs play negligible role at all. And yes, it's not necessary to start talking...

Eagerly waiting to see what new GPUs from both vendors are able to do - round and round , you can re-test everything from scratch :) Sure, there are soooo many 'optimization" options. We briefly touched the memory tuning in discussion above, we didn't speak a single bit about GPU overclocking...

let me chime in - excellent article, tremendous amount of work and hours has been put there ! Thank you very much. One note : AMD results would be BETTER with faster memory as that would clock Infinity Fabric higher. 3200MHz is really just basement for anyone these days ; 3600MHz is much...

Anton, let me react to your post from Saturday (note #5 here). I can't believe that kit rated at 3200 won't run at... 3200 you guessed it. Something else must went wrong in cooperation with your Ryzen5 1600, maybe a combination of motherboard and Ryzen itself (newest BIOS installed ?). I'm...

sure, I wrote they are rare and expensive, I saw 65" 8K Samsung for $3500 ... specs say Nvidia GTX1060 can do 7680x4320 with single DisplayPort 1.3 cable (60Hz, here comes the trick : YUV420), GTX1070 can do the same ; GTX1650 can do 7680x4320/120Hz full colors. Yes there comes the...

hi guys, yes they are rare and expensive, but 8K is 33Mpix (7680x4320) compared to 4K 8Mpix (3840x2160)resolution... that's four times as much. Mee likeeee ! Anyone of you already using something like 65" 8K TV connected to computer ? I'd love to see any productivity apps on it - no games...

don't bother with 4K resolution - as explained above due to your existing 960 GPU plus due to diminishing size for that resolution. 32" 4K monitors are too small to use without scaling. 27" 4K ? Wasted. Even for games. You are just making your life more complicated (GPU not enough) and...
